Brilliant, we all have to be vigilant to protect this space. I’ll definitely do my share. I know sometimes I find some people literally copy and paste the same comment evvvvvverywhere. Now that I am aware I can take steps to discourage that.
The only unfortunate thing is I feel bad sometimes because their motivation could be genuine (like trying to work out of poverty), but like that doesn’t change that Steemit is here with a purpose and we can’t allow that to be diluted.
This is absolutely true! Which is a major part of why I'm not angry at them...don't yell...and don't flag them. (Though I have done it for those that just continue spamming, but it's rare.) I can't really feel bad about it in the end in that, we simply have to have them change their approach...or at the very least not contribute to it continuing. The end goal is simply to educate and in the end, help the person doing it.

I want to upvote them...I want to help...but they also have to help me (and in extension our whole community.)
